Solve : Star Lite Media - What do you think??

Answer»

Please feel free to leave your comments on my site Star Lite Media.

Say what you like, don't like, or anything you think should be changed.

Go on!

I have permission to post this topic by the WAY...Nice

Only thing I can think of- is to change the colors of the forum so that the black background is more prevalent. As it stands now the main background is black, but the forum titles and so forth still have a white background, which is kind of- amateurish.

Sites using black backgrounds are the hardest to design properly, so that not only is the site readable, but ALSO looks polished.Quote from: BC_Programmer on October 28, 2008, 12:44:35 PM

Thanks.

I know what you mean about the colours (or colors)... And, yes, it is hard to design a site with a black background.
For now, I think I'll leave it though, until I get a few more opinions... But thanks again. Had a quick look - not bad at all and yeah, working on black is never that easy. You have some nice header images.

Main gripe right now is your apparent use on your links bar of target="_blank" - IMO no need to go to a new browser opening within your own site, unless a special need situation. if navigation is clear enough folks will stay in the site - it just has to be ''sticky'' - meaning PEOPLE want to stay and look around.

Not sure on the web design page wjhether the random ''comments'' up top really work - seems a bit scrappy . plus too I'd bring the links bar down to bottom of header instead of top to preserve good vis if someone has scrolled down a bit. Also handy to repeat links options at footer area - just small text links but enough to be available, though you have no footer other than the Google ads.

It has good potential and clean and simple IMO is way better than mega complex. Just maybe needs a tad more ''life'' injected without getting too fussy - no gimmicks needed tho!Quote from: ChrisXPPro on October 28, 2008, 05:25:34 PM

Thank you.

I really agree with some stuff you said and will be changing it in the coming days.
Actually, I didn't realise the links on the main site opened in a new window, it never does in Firefox.Sorry for the bump...

I updated the WHOLE site, now using Joomla CMS. Everything should be in order. Well, I'm not a big fan of forum portals and the layout reminds me a lot of Drupal Core, which I am also not a fan of...but aside from that, it looks pretty stylish and your pages appear to be in order. I didn't CHECK them for compliance or compatibility, but I can tell you that everything looks/works fine in IE6.Thanks Chris...
